The Boston Celtics try to rebound against the Atlanta Hawks Sunday in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.  Tip from State Farm Arena is set for 7 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Celtics vs. Hawks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Series: The Celtics lead 2-1

Boston dropped Game 3 on Friday 130-122 because Atlanta had the hot hand. The Hawks shot 56% from the floor and 44% from deep. The Celtics were outrebounded 48-29 in the game. F Jayson Tatum is averaging 27.7 PPG, 10.3 RPG and 4.3 APG in the series and is shooting 44.4% from deep.

G Trae Young had one of his best playoff games with 32 points, 9 dimes and 6 boards in Game 3. G Dejounte Murray had 25, and he’s averaging 26 PPG in the series. They’ll need to continue those types of contributions if they want to hold off the deep Celtics team.

Prediction

Celtics 120, Hawks 104

Moneyline

Boston only lost Game 3 because Atlanta was hot at home, and that kind of shooting is probably unsustainable. Boston’s offense has gotten better with each game, scoring 112, 119 and 122 in the 3 games. I like the Celtics here, but the ML is too expensive.

PASS and look to the spread.

Against the spread

Boston’s Game 3 loss snapped a streak of 7 straight covers against the Hawks. Each of the last 10 games has been decided by at least 6 points, and only 1 was decided by 9 points or fewer.

Take the CELTICS -5.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Game 3 was the 1st Over cash of the series, and it took a hot-handed Atlanta offense to do it. The Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between the teams. I look for a slower pace, more similar to Game 2, which missed the Over by 5.5.

Take the UNDER 231.5 (-110).

Celtics at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 121, Hawks 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Celtics are tied with the Bucks for the best road winning percentage in the East at 20-12.

Meanwhile, the Hawks are (18-13) at home and on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Their legs should be tired while the Celtics are fresh. The odds here are justified and not worthy of a play either way.

Against the spread

BET CELTICS -4.5 (-110).

The Celtics match up well with the Hawks, having the ability to abuse G Trae Young defensively and limit him with G Marcus Smart offensively. The Hawks are also just 4-6 ATS over their last 10 games and 1-3 ATS as the home team in that span.

The Celtics, on the other hand, are 2-3 ATS in their last 5 road games but are 17-15 ATS on the road. Atlanta is just 14-17 ATS as the home team, the seventh-worst home-covering rate. It is just 7-8 ATS with a rest disadvantage as well.

Back the CELTICS -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 234.5 (-110).

The Hawks should have to no answers for the F Jayson Tatum and F Jaylen Brown combination as the gameplan will likely to be to switch them onto the smaller Atlanta guards for most of the game.

The Celtics have gone Over in 2 of their last 3 and 3 of their last 5, scoring at least 114 in each of their last 3 games.

The Hawks, on the other hand, have gone Over in 2 of their last 3 and in 5 of their last 8. Both teams have surging and complete offenses that should score with ease.

Back the OVER 234.5 (-110).
